Pedro Pascal Sees Mandalorian And Grogu Box Office Slide to Third
Pedro Pascal’s mandalorian and grogu box office dropped hard in weekend two, sliding to third place after a 70% revenue fall and $25 million from Friday to Sunday. The Disney release opened with $81.7 million, but the second-weekend number pushed the film into a tougher commercial lane.
Weekend Two Numbers
The $25 million second weekend came after an opening that landed on the low end of estimates, and the long Memorial Day weekend haul wound up far short of Solo. That is a sharp turn for the first Star Wars film of the 2020s, especially for a launch built around a big theatrical restart for the franchise.
Backrooms took the top spot with $81.4 million in its first weekend, while Obsession followed with an estimated $26.4 million. Those two films pushed Disney’s title out of the top two, turning what should have been a holdover advantage into a week-two retreat.
Backrooms And Obsession
Backrooms arrived as a $10 million horror movie from 20-year-old YouTuber Kane Parsons, a reminder that small-budget genre titles can still dominate a weekend when they connect. Obsession, directed by 26-year-old Curry Barker after finding fame on YouTube and TikTok, carried a production budget of around $750,000 and still outran a major franchise release on the same frame.
The comparison is brutal for Disney because the film’s second-weekend performance made it difficult to avoid a loss or reach theatrical break-even. A $175 million production can absorb a lot; a 70% drop in week two does not give it much room to breathe.
May 14 Premiere
On May 14, 2026, Sigourney Weaver, Pascal, Jon Favreau, and Dave Filoni attended the Los Angeles world premiere. That rollout still positioned the movie as a major event, but the weekend numbers are doing the real talking now.
Disney’s next move is simple: hold the line theatrically and hope the audience picture stabilizes, because a third-place finish after $81.7 million out of the gate is the kind of start that forces the studio to count every subsequent ticket twice.
